Transitioning from a business has many legal and tax implications and might not be as straight forward as it seems on the surface.

According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, 47 per cent of business owners with a small or mid-size enterprise (SME) intend to exit their business within the next five years and 72 per cent plan to exit within a decade.

However, the CFIB report said only eight per cent of owners surveyed had a formal, written succession plan. About 51 per cent didn't have any plan and 41 per cent had an informal plan.
